Bugs IndustrialCraft2 1.00

1st Official Post

    - Electric Wrench Recipe create Chainsaws
    - Ultra-Low-Current-Cable's texture in inventory is pink square with red line
    - Teleporter cannot be connected with wires

    It has a very little loss, and can't carry even 5 eu/t. It is for solar wiring, i guess... An it is shocky!!! Very shocky... Why does ultra-low voltage shock so hard?

    Cutiemark crusaders - engineers, Yay!
    Blown up: Industrial Blast Furnace, Industrial Wiremill, Singularity compressor, Extractor.

    I cant craft mfsu with empty laptrons, even though i installed 1.00 (btw recipe book somehow recognices it).
    Edit:applys to mass producer too

    First Ablaka, THANK YOU :D (The Teleporter storage is awesome :D).
    Second I want to put stuff up the wiki, i even did, but i can only edit existing pages, no non-existant.


    Second
    Ultra-Low-Current-Cable is craftable with 3 tin in a line - - - <- like that


    Third

    I think this is becuase of some IRL rules more strenght in electricity means less speed, more speed means less strength. But yeah more strength should mean more damage :P I learned this last year on school and it was just summer vacation, so it's just an un-educated guess MinecraftPig

    if you want to go close to reality:


    R = rho_resistance * length / Cross-sectionArea ,


    and R = V/I , while power loss due to resistance is V I^2 or V^2 / R ;


    Meaning: Higher voltage = lower loss implying the same power transfer rate ; Bigger cable = lower loss ;


    Best materials for lower resistance implying everything else is constant:


    Silver, Copper, Gold, Aluminum, ...iron ...tin... carbon diamond...silicon..glass...rubber


    oh wait... IC2 get it kinda backward.

    Please ignore this floating platform with 10,000 solar panels. Nothing to see here.

    That's not how electricity works. Just sayin'.

    I seriously cannot confirm this. The recipes are fine.
    Dunno whether you're probably using "old" bugged lapotrons, 1%-charged lapotrons (those you get when crafting lapotron crystals from charged energycrystals) or incorrect Recpes.

    I'm having the same issue as Behka as well. I made my lapotron crystals in v1.00 using freshly de-charged energy crystals.

    Love IC2, tried to hydrate some coal dust and when i put 8 dust and 1 water bucket i only get 1 coal instead of 8 like IC, is this right?


    Also the taps on some of my rubber trees are at the very top of the tree, is there a way to have them form closer to the root?


    thanks for listening.

    The recipe is currently bugged. Use the other one for now.


    Regrow the tree?

    it actaully can handle a lot more than 5 eu/t IF its coming from solar panels and no other source. I have a setup with 50 eu/t with this cable and no meltage. But if i hook two batboxes together it melts. I don't know if this is intended though.
    EDIT: Ive now tested it to 150EU/t using only solar panels and the cable is fine. I think there isn't a current limit as long as power is from solar panels

    Close. Pulses never combine in cables, so each one of 10, 100, or 1000 solar panels is still only sending a 1EU/t pulse, and thus they never overload the wire. Should also work for wind and hydro generators.

    does this ultra low voltage cable have a range cuz if it does i have not found it

    The following statement is true. The previous statement is false.
